The podium is calling Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s youngest star.

Grand Prix win number 40 insight for Prado: Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jorge Prado continues his meteoric rise up through the record books. With his fortieth Grand Prix win within touching distance. To hit the milestone.Prado needs to get on the gas and claim five more victories. Prado has won 31 Grands Prix in MX2 and four aboard the bigger 450F.

Guadagnini chases Italian predecessors: The winner of two rounds in his rookie season, Mattia Guadagnini needs just five more overall victories to become the second-winningest Italian rider in the MX2 class. Five more victories would take his career total to six. Meaning that only the great Antonio Cairoli sits ahead of him with 24 Grand Prix wins on a 250F.

Langenfelder strives to put Germany on top: If Simon Langenfelder can fulfil his dream and stand atop the Grand Prix podium in Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing colours.He will be the first German to win in the MX2 class in more than ten years! When the Grand Prix of Great Britain fires into life. 3827 days would have been gone since the last raised above the top step of the MX2 podium.

Prado is excited to return to his Spanish roots: Jumping aboard an MC 450F for the first time, Prado is excited to represent GASGAS with its Spanish heritage. The Grand Prix of Spain, scheduled for May 29, could be a historic moment for everyone. Especially as Prado has not won at home in either class thus far in his career. The Spanish fans could have a lot to cheer about later in the season!
